With the Steeler’s bye week currently underway, let’s briefly turn our attention towards planning for the future. Two of the Steeler’s biggest needs are adding pass rushing threats and adding depth towards the defensive line.

Cameron Heyward is currently sidelined with an injury and Pittsburgh’s defense has sorely missed his overall play and pass rushing capabilities. In the two complete games he has missed due to injury, Pittsburgh has racked up a whopping … 0 sacks.

Even with Heyward, the Steeler’s defense has been unimpressive in terms of their pass rush. In our next Steelers Draft Watch, I will be highlighting a Steelers Draft target whose high energy and pass rushing skills could surely benefit the Steelers.

Steeler Nation, I introduce you to our next Steelers Draft target, Vita Vea.
